Regarding my previous post about sunflower seeds, (I have substituted eating a few handfuls of seeds in lieu of using tobacco during induction) all is well!!

I have been in induction for 8 days now, eating sunflower seeds in moderation all along the way, and have lost 7 lbs. ketosis strip looked like it was dipped in red wine, so this is good news for me. I know nuts and seeds are supposedly off limits, but if my body remains in ketosis and I continue to lose weight, I don't see the harm in chewing a few seeds!!

Hey if seeds are keeping you off the smokes, more power to you. And since you are in ketosis while eating them, I don't see the harm. Sunflower seeds are very high in fat, so the carb amount is lower than some other seeds and nuts. I love them!!!!

Me, a skeptic? I trust you have proof.

Eating them as I was reading your post.

I was worried if they were causing my current stall.
